And power is above all possessed by whoever controls the flow of information. This applies particularly to digital culture, because all the information on the World Wide Web can be surveilled and manipulated, unhindered. That mobile communication devices have been enthusiastically embraced means, that these days, billions of people all over the world are connected to each other. Billions of all kinds of con- tent and data are generated every day and transmitted across the globe within seconds. Even before it reaches the recipients, mas- sive amounts of this data are intercepted by private companies and government agencies, checked, and then used for their purposes. Whereas not so long ago digital forms of communication were seen as the hope for new forms of democratic participation, they have recently been converted and perverted into ideal door openers for the perfect surveillance and control of billions of people. Those who use such devices are being used. This is the proviso to which we have all acquiesced in order to profit from these conve- nient forms of communication. Smartphones, which accompany their users with every step they take, are infected with spyware without their owners’ consent or knowledge, and can be used as surveillance cameras and listening devices even when they are turned off. Our locations and movement profiles can be accessed at any time. Our browsing and consumer behavior, our contacts, our preferences, and our weaknesses can be analyzed and passed on at any time without us knowing or being asked. Surveillance and censorship are mutually dependent; they cannot be viewed separately. The surveillance of citizens, institutions, and companies – yes, including the monitoring of democratically elected politicians and parliaments or of journalists and lawyers – has always been an open secret, that this is the mission of gov- ernment agencies. Recently, however, this historical practice of government-legitimized spying on all citizens has been expanded to include spying by powerful service contractors and economic enterprises. And parallel to this, for passing on important informa- tion to the general public by courageous citizens and journalists, their disclosures even of illegal surveillance, and drawing attention to censorship and torture by government institutions, these people are now being prosecuted and punished in the strongest possible terms. The paramount importance of an exhibition on this subject is evi- denced every single day. The media reports daily on new cases of spying and the massive interference with disclosing precisely these 6 control_bruchuere_E_20150928-1.indd 6 28.09.15 11:20 PREFACE practices. It can no longer be denied that in Germany, too, state agencies on the orders of and sanctioned by the government itself, have taken action contrary to the welfare of citizens and the econ- omy. Parliamentary investigation committees are refused access to documents which would lead to the solving of such cases. In totalitarian states, whistle-blowers disappear – they are kidnapped or even assassinated – but the danger that even in Germany they may find themselves prosecuted for treason, has recently increased dramatically. Besides direct measures to exercise influence and punish, the sur- veillance apparatus always uses fear as the most effective instru- ment. From Olympus to the Old Testament, from the Pharaohs to the Inquisition, in all religions and governmental systems from antiquity to the present, surveillance always referenced God Al- mighty or the gods. The total control of individuals always took place preemptively in the form of self-censorship resulting from fear. When this mechanism did not work, in their presumptuous omnipotence as representatives of God, both religious and worldly rulers have always had recourse to ubiquitous spy systems to iden- tify and locate people who think differently, and to mete out the punishment they are supposed to deserve. Thus, up to the end of the eighteenth century, the writings and correspondence of scholars and scientists who were deemed suspicious were intercepted, evaluated, manipulated, and used against the sender by the Inquisition – often with devastating con- sequences for them. In 1415, Jan Hus was burned at the stake in Konstanz for heresy against the teachings of the Catholic Church. In 1600, Giordano Bruno was burnt at the stake on the Campo dei Fiori in Rome for heresy because he denied several Catholic core doctrines based on Aristotle’s natural philosophy. It was not so much about Bruno himself, but rather about setting a public example, which would supposedly deter others from publishing what they knew. In 1633, after the Inquisition threatened him with the same fate as Bruno, Galileo Galilei was forced to retract his scientific findings, which were contrary to official church doctrine: for the Roman Catholic Church the Earth was the center of the universe around which the other celestial bodies revolved. Today, in the year 2015, writers and journalists critical of the sys- tem and whistle-blowers are branded as traitors; they are pursued across all continents, threatened with bans on publishing their work, with house arrest and travel bans, with life imprisonment or even death. After the control regime of the Nazis, which culminated in the anni- hilation of millions of people, George Orwell’s Big Brother became a metaphor for the God-like, omnipresent, totalitarian authority of state control by means of electronic media. Under Stalin’s dictator- ship, no different to the USA in the anti-Communist McCarthy era, millions of people were hounded and persecuted because of their opinions and beliefs, incarcerated in prisons and camps, t ortured, 7 control_bruchuere_E_20150928-1.indd 7 28.09.15 11:20 GLOBAL CONTROL AND CENSORSHIP and killed. The dictatorships of Franco in Spain and Salazar in Por- tugal, the regimes of Pinochet, Suharto, and Ceaușescu, to name but a few examples, were only able to survive because of the sur- veillance and intimidation of the populace; the same applied to East Germany, which owed its continued existence until 1989 to the Ministry for State Security’s blanket system of informers. At the latest since 1947, the global espionage network Echelon op- erated by the Five Eyes – USA, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand – has focused on spying on political, commer- cial, and private communications traffic, both in the East and the West. Since the end of the Second World War the Federal German Government has known and sanctioned that the Allied Powers in Germany systematically monitor all postal, telephone, and radio communications. The people were told this was to counter the Communist threat: today it is ostensibly to wage “war on terror.” For around thirty years now digital networks have enabled auto- mated, targeted blanket interception, manipulation, and storing of information available on the Internet as well as targeted spying on users worldwide and 24/7. The courageous disclosures of Ed- ward Snowden and other whistle-blowers have made it very clear that this capability of total electronic surveillance by intelligence agencies in the East and the West has been developed and is im- plemented on the broadest possible basis. Super-efficient spying software is developed with the aid of state funding at German universities and prestigious private sector research institutions as a new form of weapons technology; it is a lucrative business for German companies with totalitarian states from all over the world. Just how all-encompassing digital surveillance and censorship function today was revealed in July 2014 when the CIA admitted it had manipulated the computers of the U.S. Congress committee that is tasked with democratic control of the CIA. The manipulation included deleting documents about torture conducted by the CIA, which the committee was investigating. That digital surveillance functions perfectly in Germany as well is evidenced by the recent revelations that several thousand com- puters of the German Bundestag and prominent politicians had been successfully hacked for years. After the NSA admitted they had even hacked Chancellor Merkel’s mobile phone to spy on her, it is likely that the attacks on the Bundestag and politicians, which are still ongoing, were also carried out by the intelligence services of foreign nations. It is a matter of grave concern that such spying activities in Germany – possibly also by “friendly” powers – are not being vigorously prosecuted. For a long time now the Five Eyes states as well as other nations have granted themselves the right to spy on all other nations: in all military, economic, and social areas, and at all levels – government, organizations, business concerns, activists, NGOs, and individual citizens. The motto is: If it’s technically possible to do, it will be done.

  • The Green Tent (Das Grüne Zelt) Joseph Beuys and the Extended Concept of Ecology
    PRESS RELEASE The Green Tent (Das Grüne Zelt) Joseph Beuys and the extended concept of ecology Saturday 5 November 2016 – Sunday 19 March 2017 On Friday November 4 at 6 pm inaugurates The Green Tent (Das Grüne Zelt) curated by Marco Scotini that place itself as the third chapter of an ideal trilogy, finishing the cycle of exhibitions with which the PAV intended to reconstruct a possible genealogy of the relationship between the artistic practices and the ecological conscience during the 1970s in Europe. After the exhibitions Earthrise (2015) and ecologEast (2016), this project will focus on the activity of one of the most recognized artists from the second half of the last century: Joseph Beuys, putting a particular emphasis on his involvement with the political institutions and his response to the threats of environmental crisis. The exhibition, which coincides with the 30th anniversary of Beuys’ death, wants to become a tribute to the author of the "social sculpture," within the institution founded by Piero Gilardi, who was the first to write about Beuys in Italy, as early as in 1967. Despite the consistent amount of critical literature available about the German artist’s activity, only in rare circumstances can we find examples where the romantic and spiritual matrix of the word “nature” has been used in a political sense, using the term ecology. All this in spite of the fact that Beuys’ perspective was strongly militant in that direction, leading him to chair the constitution of the German Greens movement that saw him, even if for a short time, as a candidate for the parliament.

Shortly before his surprising death in June of this year, Prof. Dr. Rudolf Leopold (1925–2010) personally selected the works to be shown. The Picasso painting Woman (1907), created during the same period as Demoiselles d’Avignon, is a work that was particularly cherished by Ernst Beyeler—and which will now be seen in Vienna. This painting otherwise never leaves the building in Riehen near Basel which star architect Renzo Piano built to house the Beyeler Collection. Elisabeth Leopold, Patricia Spiegelfeld and Franz Smola are the curators of this exhibition, to open on Friday, 17 September 2010, which will show outstanding works of classical modernism complimented by non-European art. Peter Weinhäupl, Managing Director of the Leopold Museum, also brought architect Markus Spiegelfeld on board to transfer the atmosphere of the Beyeler Collection’s exhibition building into the Atrium of the Leopold Museum by means of a few effective architectural adjustments.

  • New Perspectives on Joseph Beuys Saturday 15Th October 2016
    ECA/NGS Symposium An Expanded Concept of Art: New Perspectives on Joseph Beuys Joseph Beuys and Henning Christiansen performing the ‘Celtic (Kinloch Rannoch) Scottish Symphony’ at Edinburgh College of Art, 1970 Saturday 15th October 2016 [13:00 – 20:00] Main Lecture Theatre, Edinburgh College of Art Main Building, 74 Lauriston Place This academic symposium, which will present new perspectives on Joseph Beuys and his works, celebrates both Beuys exhibitions currently on show at Modern Two, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. These exhibitions are Richard Demarco and Joseph Beuys: A Unique Partnership and ARTIST ROOMS: Joseph Beuys - A Language of Drawing, the latter curated by Anthony d’Offay and Keith Hartley. A towering and highly influential figure of twentieth-century art, Beuys died thirty years ago in 1986, but his legacy remains very strong. It is most fitting that this symposium will take place in the Main Building of Edinburgh College of Art. This was the venue for Richard Demarco’s ground-breaking Strategy: Get Arts in 1970, which involved artists such as Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, Daniel Spoerri, Blinky Palermo, Günther Uecker and others, a major exhibition of contemporary German art. Demarco therefore brought Beuys to Britain for the first time and the artist would return to Edinburgh on a number of occasions at Demarco’s invitation. And when Anthony d’Offay, who also studied art in Edinburgh and who remains closely connected with the city, opened an important exhibition space for contemporary art on the first floor at 23 Dering Street in London in 1980, he started that programme with an exhibition by Beuys, the first of many exhibitions he devoted to him.
